Tor client anonymity relies on every relay being able to connect to every other relay (a "clique network").

Depends on what you're up against. Assumed ability to connect to and traffic through entire consensus isn't the same as the anonymity set of... available path permutations, locations, traffic density, operators, etc. It's a constraint imposed upon the consensus due to insufficient metadata flags / tags about each relays capabilities such that clients can build the type of circuits they want, even possibly setting pathing and request cell preferences for IPv6 only (maybe they just have KAME turtle love and don't care about v4 at all).
